Q – Do you have a price list?A – No, we don’t have a price list, because prices change so frequently, we’d rather pass on the savings as they occur. Most customers ask us to quote for their individual requirements.

Q – Do you only sell printers?A – BDS sells a comprehensive range of printers, copiers and fax machines. This is the market we know very well and believe our extensive expertise can provide our customers with the best advice and assistance to ensure the correct purchase. Of course, we also supply the consumables and service etc. for everything we sell.

Q – Do you repair printers?A – Yes we do. Always ask us for a quote for repairing your printer, either by sending it back to us (which is normally more cost effective) or, for added convenience, we can arrange for a service engineer to attend to the product on site.

Q – Do you service all the printers you sell?A – We ensure that each printer is fully covered by a satisfactory warranty and can arrange for servicing, as required, once the warranty has expired.

Q – How can I buy from you before a credit account is setup?A – We accept most credit and switch cards and there is no surcharge levied on purchase by a credit card.

Q – How do I open an account?A – Very easily. We are pleased to trade with all companies of any size and type. Just ask for our credit application form to set up a credit account, subject to status.

Q – How quickly can you ship my order?A – We despatch most of our orders the same day for next day delivery. We can do a timed delivery (e.g. by 10-30AM), but it will cost a little extra for any urgent requirements. Please call for details.

Q – When I need help, whom should I call?A – Ask for the sales department and if they can’t help they’ll know someone who can?
